Weekend in Dallas

This weekend we went to Dallas to spend

the weekend at cousin Austin's house.

Mommy, Aunt Lacey, and Nana had fun

shopping for toys and baby clothes,

while Daddy, Pawpaw, and Uncle Zach

got to hang out and play with Emma and Austin.

Kickin' Bobbin' Gym

Emma got a new toy last week. She is always moving and

kicking her legs, so I searched for a toy that she could kick.

There is a soft ball hanging down that she can kick to make the bear's 

head move, nose light up, and music play.

A huge grin comes over her face when she hears it!

She also enjoys grabbing onto the little dangling toys.

New Discoveries

Emma has taken an interest in grabbing her feet.

She has always seemed interested in looking at her feet while

wearing socks, but here lately she has really enjoyed

grabbing and holding onto them with or without socks.

She also recently began looking at her hands more intently

and wiggling her fingers. It is so much fun to watch her make new discoveries.

If only we knew what she was thinking!

Team Spirit

Although our beloved Braves aren't doing as well 

as we'd hope, we remain loyal fans.

Emma enjoyed sporting her t-shirt that her Daddy bought for her

last year before we knew she was a little girl.

Mommy decided to dress the outfit up with a headband!

Too cute!

Play ball!

Saturday Mornings with Daddy

We love Saturday mornings because

we get to sleep in and spend time with Daddy.

Emma thought it was funny to sit on the table

 while Daddy helped her sit up.

Bunny Love

Emma just loves her bunny teether/rattle.

It's a good thing we have two!

Although it's "paws" are meant for teething, Emma prefers it's ears!

It takes no time for them to get soggy, wet, and droopy.

I fondly call him "Leo the Lop" after the book character

my Mam-ma Nona used to read to me. 

4 Months Old

After rolling over for the first time, Emma was all smiles!

Hmm... how can I fit the ring, keys, and blanket in my mouth?

Emma is now putting everything she can hold onto into her mouth!

Who me?

At Emma's 4 month check up she weighed 14 lbs 5 ozs

and measured 26 inches long!

Rolly Polly

Emma rolled all the way over from her back to her tummy

for the first time July 31st, just before she turned 4 months old.

Now any time I put her down she starts trying to roll over!

As soon as she rolls over she gets her legs going

like she's trying to crawl!

We can't believe how fast she is growing!

Fresh and Clean

Emma was too cute in her turtle hooded towel

after her bath that I had to snap a few shots!

Almost over

Emma surprised me one day while I was changing her diaper;

she rolled over onto her side!

We are still practicing getting all of the way over.

Now anytime I put her on her back, she rolls to her side.

We're just watching and waiting...

it could be any day now!
